In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I've heard from veterans who've been waiting ridiculously long amounts of time to be seen at the VA, And if you look at the number of Veteran Affairs employees, physicians, nurses who've been cut, it's directly impacting the ability for those veterans to seek care.”
“When I'm elected again I'll continue to lead efforts to combat the economic and national security impacts of climate change on our local community, invest in energy projects that create jobs and lower prices, and protect our clean air and water.”
“I think it is incumbent on the members of Congress to not be in a position where there can be any appearance of impropriety.”
“We need somebody who's going to go up there and stand up to this. We truly need less corruption in Washington and more affordability here in Hampton Roads.”
“We think of the military as a meritocracy. Everyone performs to a certain standard and they advance based off their performance and their merits.”
“When I went to my first ship, I was in the first group of women to integrate that ship.”

“I think that we're going to have the resources, the momentum and the support from the voters to flip [control of] the House.”
“Every single day, there's some new thing as a distraction for the fact that the administration is not doing what they told voters they were going to do.”
“I cannot sit back and watch as Republicans in Congress create chaos while failing to address the rising cost of living and the issues that matter to Coastal Virginians, Virginians are hungry for change, and I look forward to getting back to work for Hampton Roads to make life more affordable for working families, grow our economy, cut health care costs, and strengthen our military.”
“I really don't have a lot of confidence in his leadership.”
“I was voted one of the most bipartisan members of Congress because I have a track record of working across the aisle, especially on veterans and military issues.”
“I think I've always stood up for what was right, even when it wasn't politically expedient, and I'm going to continue to do that when I come back.”
“People told me at the time, 'This will be your own political peril. You're probably not going to get re-elected in a district like yours.' And I essentially said at the time, 'I don't care. I'm doing the right thing,' The right thing is to stand up and be part of this committee and present the facts to the American people and I'm not scared.”
“I've watched the chaos here in Washington — really, it's a do-nothing Republican Congress, and they haven't even been to work for about 50 days, I said to myself, this is the time for me to continue to serve in that capacity and go back to being representative for Virginia's 2nd District again.”
